South Sudan Election Crisis: Kiir Strips Rivals of Power as December Vote Looms | Firstpost Africa
Watch this video as Firstpost explains how, as South Sudan prepares for its long-delayed, first-ever general election on December 22, President Salva Kiir has executed a sweeping political move, dissolving the entire government, removing all vice presidents, and leaving himself as the sole governing authority.Passed alongside controversial amendments to the National Elections Act, the decree consolidates Kiir’s control while stripping rival leaders of their positions. Adding fuel to public outrage, lawmakers were reportedly promised new luxury vehicles shortly after approving the changes, despite civil servants remaining unpaid and over 70% of the population living in poverty.
With no registered voters, no permanent constitution, and non-unified security forces, international observers fear these actions may destroy any chance of a fair vote. Instead of ushering in democracy, Kiir’s grip on power risks plunging the world's youngest nation right back into civil war. Alyson Le Grange brings you more on this story on Firstpost Africa.
